Well, I had every intention of bundling up some blanks tonight, but while I was sorting, my 'secret stash' kept growing, and the milled pile kept shrinking, and then somehow I ended up on the lathe, you know, 'just for a second to see how this one looks inside', and then I figured I'd better at least finish the tube off just to do some quality control checks, and then I figured I'd better check the other piece, and then since I was so close anyways...
So here's tonight's pen. It's from a diagonal cut section of one of the main branches (you can sorta see one of the slices, the pen and other blank are sitting on it), no burl, some curl, good color, couple wormholes, some spalting, no color added, just CA stabilized and CA/BLO finish.
I'll have to give the old bundling shuffle another shot tomorrow again. That whole dang tree's gonna end up in my stash. Some days I think that I might have a small pack ratting problem.
I do have a couple sets made up though so I'll...oh wait, lemme look at this one again...hmmm....okay so I've got one set made up...oops...no, scratch that...
heh
